THE LAST FAREWELL – ROGER WHITTAKER

 

On this day I bid a last farewell

to a father who was not my blood

but a bond was made

and a promise held

and I was rescued from the flood

the tears that fell

were sweet enriched with salt

like an ocean swell

that fell into a well

of honey and the feelings felt

cannot be bought

for the value of such love

is more important

and more valuable than any amount of money

knowing the sun will no longer touch his face

and I will not see the sweetness of his smile again

I look upon the heavenly countenance of this place

and know that the sun will always follow even after so much rain.

My friends

 

I want that you will forget me just a little;

that I might be just a little less important to you,

so that in my absences you will not grieve for me.

I can no longer be here as often as I once was.

I have not the strength.

There is illness, pain and loss

and still more to come.

There is barely enough strength

to do the most rudimentary of things.

Each day I task myself to do

only what is the most important one thing to achieve that day

and I congratulate myself on doing that one small thing

and try hard not to beat myself up

on the other million things I did not do.

You are always in my heart.

You are never far from my thoughts.

I never will forget you.

In truth I love you …

 

Thank you for your kindness, understanding and patience.

 

The winter and the cold wave came to Switzerland.

 

With this picture I did not make it easy for me. At first I really could not decide which photo to put on flickr. I wrestled with myself, because I would like to present the most beautiful photo for my friends here. Secondly, the picture was made under very difficult external conditions, because it was really "bitterly cold". I could barely touch my hands after photographing and yet I wanted to get a nice photo of these beautiful ice crystals. I succeeded, more or less, because the background was not ideal for that. In addition, my faithful friend Roco had to wait for me and there I no longer want to start one try after another. This time I did not want to make any compromises with the warm colors of the picture, because the cold should be very touchable. I believe this has succeeded with this picture. I am fascinated by this "little work of art". Each little detail is a miracle of creation, because it was shaped by the elements of nature and radiates its brilliance as long as this nature allows.

I am grateful for these little things without which life would not be so beautiful and interesting.

Rejoice over the elements of nature.

Erwin

 

I thank you all for the interest and enthusiasm for my work here. I am happy about every comment from you and every time you like my pictures. Thank you very much for all the favorites and for watching my photos.

 

Small supplement of today:

The winter has caught up with me too, for I am terribly cold. Nevertheless, or just because of this, I am looking forward to every single word from you. Also, I always see in the little things, which makes the importance and beauty of life. Wish all of you a blessed time, without illness and with much love and joy. Hope you can all be in a nice warm place, because outside it is extremely cold here. Brrrrrr .....

 

....first there was darkness till i created the night, first there was darkness and darkness was right. darkness is moving into the light...

(lyrics: noa and gil dor)

and, Good morning ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

The illness is spreading fast and we need to be careful...

I will chill at home this weekend :D

Have a wonderful weekend to all (๑*ˊᵕˋ)۶♥

Due to his illness Tofu has lost quite a lot of weight although you don't see it under all this fluff. He eats well again now and will hopefully be back to form soon. And he watches birds again which is something he didn't do when he felt poorly. For now he is not allowed to go out yet but I have started to put dried mealworms out on the terrace for the birds and Tofu sits at the window and enjoys the entertainment.

For Tongue Tuesday I add another capture of the birdwatcher in the comments.

By the door steps of the National Club, one of the most elitist clubs in Toronto.

Constructed in the flamboyant Venetian Baroque style by the Venetian master Marino Gropelli in 1715, the church is dedicated to st. Blaise (sveti Blaž), the patron saint and protector of the city. Being a physician and a bishop, st. Blaise is traditionaly believed to cure throat illnesses. Based on the legend of his appearance to warn the inhabitants of Dubrovnik of an impending attack by the Venetians, the Festivity of st. Blaise, celebrated yearly on 3 February, has kept its traditional features in a continuous historic sequence from the 10th century to our time and has been added to the UNESCO's List as one of the 13 enrolled goods of Croatian Intangible Cultural Heritage.

……Even ‘Blue’ ones! Ahead of Friday May 12th which is ‘ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day’ Smile on Saturday’s theme today is all about ‘Blue’ and when I read the brief "BLUE FOR YOU - ME 2023” I decided on this picture. So for ALL affected direct or indirectly as a result of ANY illness I hope todays pictures will bring a Smile however brief. This is another Anemone I spotted at Attingham Park (N/Trust) only I’ve added a bit more Indigo blue to the background especially for you. HS😊S, Alan:-)…….

 

‘FAVES’ PROBLEMS?!? Does anyone else have a problem with ‘Faves’ not staying latched in? I regularly spot some when I look back again at an image and have to re-Fave again! Most annoying - apologies if you see a comment & no fave given from me.

I went on a photo shoot with two Flickr friends on Friday at Riverview Hospital in Coquitlam, which used to be an "insane asylum." Most of it is closed now, with only a few buildings still in use. This one, in particular caught my eye, as it looks rather sinister. Unfortunately, we weren't able to go inside...I believe this building is condemned anyway, as it was definitely falling apart. I couldn't help but think of all the horrible things that went on here, and all the sad and depressed people that left here with no place to go but the street.

Cat's Whiskers in the KLCC Park serve as border plants and given their year 'round presence some of the walks are always bordered by pretty white flowers. So you could be forgiven for thinking they're merely ornamentals. But Orthosiphon also has excellent medicinal qualities especially for illnesses of the urinary tract. That's for what they've traditionally been used in this part of the world.

It's difficult to get a good photo of these clusters, so I thought I'd give you a shot from the top down.

Things are as ever slowly changing..

 

My illness that is now being treated with double beta blockers is not yet responding well and some of my ordinary PVCs have changed to interpolated PVCs which can eventually lead to Cardiomyopathy with severe and chronic anxiety being the root cause.

 

I don’t have control over my anxiety and Flickr is just one thing I can leave off at least. I have had some lovely mails asking me to just take a break then come back and believe me they are so heartwarming and mean more than you will ever know.

 

The place I am at now is to still leave my account open as it is paid up until April 2024. Comments for new photos are turned off and shall remain off as I am too unwell to leave comments as they take me ages to formulate and I get so tired and stressed.

 

I intend flooding my Flickr account with photos from my two previous Flickr accounts as I get a better idea of whether I myself consider them worthy of uploading to my new online account with a couple of online accounts instead of mixed with thousands of other photos on my PC

I shall hopefully start to fave but not be commenting on photos on Flickr as I not well enough to at the moment but I haven’t given up on getting better although I am unsure how…

I wish everyone well and am still browsing all your wonderful inspirational photography !

Taken in Newhall Valley Country Park, on this bright and breezy morning. A very happy Friday and weekend to you all my Flickr friends. My computer isn't working too well right now, please forgive my absences should I keep you waiting ... lots to do because of my husband's continued illness as well and the rate at which everything's growing in the garden !

 

Marnie and I still manage to get a nice walk together every morning and this is on one of our favourite routes.

 

Stay safe and well and Happy Fence Friday !!!

 

Thanks everyone for your continued support and friendship. Each view is sincerely appreciated.

   

Reclining Buddhas are commonplace in Thailand and also here in Laos.

 

A reclining Buddha is an image that represents Buddha lying down and is a major iconographic theme in Buddhist art. It represents the historical Buddha during his last illness, about to enter the parinirvana. He is lying on his right side, his head resting on a cushion or relying on his right elbow, supporting his head with his hand.

 

This pattern seems to have emerged at the same time as other representations of the Buddha in the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara.

Because of my sudden illness, everything was delayed a bit. But since I'm on the mend again, I can finally show you my vampire-inspired style that I worked on before the illness. I picked out some make-up designers to create my very own look.

 

I am greatful for all the patience my sponsor give to us bloggers in this time and hope all of them and all of you will be safe!

After 6 days of illness, I'm finally back on my feet...hence the reason why I have been absent here on Flickr.

Tomorrow I am returning to work for the first time since last Friday. I feel ALIVE again and wanted to celebrate by posting this beautiful rose picture given to me by a friend. I received a bouquet of roses for helping her become my colleague.

 

I will soon get back to comments and liking all your beautiful pictures.

 

Have a beautiful Wednesday

This is the place where I was the day before having the illness that made me hospitalize.

Further on, with other photos, I will tell you the (wonderful) reason why I was here.

Is this a 20th Century moment or a 21st Century moment? It's hard to tell, but in fact it's the latter. There are many small rural communities that now remind me of scenes I witnessed during my time spent in Cuba. Many of these small rural communities in America are currently ravaged by poverty and drug addiction with no identifiable path out of the situation. We are a better people than this, and our elected officials of both parties in Washington would be better advised to cease the divisive rhetoric and general political posturing and dig into real and lasting solutions for homelessness, drug addiction, immigration, poverty, mental illness, suicide, and the proliferation of false news that is destroying America.

I KNOW YOU CARE – ELLIE GOULDING

 

It's been a funny few days

and even funnier nights

chasing storm clouds from my mind

falling; laughing; pillow fights

I tumble to the rumble of the thunder

let lightning strike me in the same place twice

dancing in the torrential rain

smiling up at you; feels so nice

kick off my heels; barefoot and free

stumbling; clumsy; straight into your arms

you steady me; you're my anchor in a storm

you're the rock that roots me

safe and steady; snuggle up; warm

toasting marshmallows

in the old ramshackle barn

where we used to play and shelter

way back then it was our port in the storm

now you came and found me

placed your hand in mine

smiled at me with your goofy grin

so nice to know we didn't run out of time

don't run out on me again

not now; not even in my dreams

'cos you rooted me to the earth again

now nothing is as bad as it seemed

we were meant for each other

no bout a-doubt it I mis-say

remember the short-hand we talked

oh, you know, back in the day

now it's my turn to smile

look down shyly at my feet

turned inwards as always

I look up and we let our eyes meet

sparkling and twinkling;

grinning until our faces ache

were we ever this happy before

I am ready to chance it; so willing to take

the wind is still blowing

wait until the dust sets

or run with me now

and cancel all bets

I see you nodding

no words need be said

you've got my heart in your hand

I've got our tune stuck in my head.

Dear Flickr friends,

 

This will be my last posting for a few days, until I am able to get out and about again but I will dip in and out to look at your wonderful work. I have a boat trip booked to see some seals on Sunday, so I really hope I will be able to do this... My mind is willing …

 

My picture was taken just under 3 years ago, while I was recuperating from illness and it is a gentle reminder to me of what I am able to achieve. I climbed high to see this view.

 

Dear Chi, 悲しむことはありません. それは希望のメッセージです. 友よありがとう : 0)

 

A MESSAGE OF HOPE

 

As darkness falls, then so do I

body broken, tears run dry

 

As daylight comes, the pressure rose

It craves expression, 'fore my eyes close

 

A little bird with broken wing

tapped my window, began to sing

 

She gave me HOPE and brought me love

a poem so sweet. from Heaven above

 

She cannot fly with broken wing

but to me she brings the gift of Spring

 

When hollowed out and in despair

pray for your angel. She's always there

 

She walks beside me, takes my hand

The sun shines down and warms the sand.

 

From the sea I came and will return

but I leave behind, HOPE, love, friendship

 

'til I return …

Tell me why

Tell me why

Contempt in your eyes

When I turn to kiss his lips

Broken I lie, all my feelings denied

Blood on your fist

Can you tell me why?

Can you tell me why?

Can you tell me why?

Can you tell me why?

Whoo-hoo-hoo, hoo!

You in your false securities

Tear up my life condemning me

Name me an illness, you call me a sin

Never feel guilty, never give in

Tell me why

Tell me why

Tell me why

Tell me why, yeah

Yeah, yeah-yeah

You and me together fighting for our love

You and me together fighting for our love

You and me together fighting for our love

You and me together fighting for our love

You and me together fighting for our love

You and me together fighting for our love

You and me together fighting for our love

You and me together fighting for our love

Ooh-ooh

Contempt in your eyes

When I turn to kiss his lips

Broken I lie, all my feelings denied

Blood on your fist

Can you tell me why?

First of all to all my friends, its good to sit here FINALLY. On 3/17 i met my new doctor. On 3/18 i was rushed to the ER i have no recollection other than what i have been told. Took several days to stabilize me to do the surgeries required. Pancreatitis and Gall Bladder. I was in the Trauma Unit for just over 2 weeks and now home but can't sit at pc. My apologies for missing your beautiful and inspiring works. I am still recovering and still experience pain. If you would keep me in your thoughts and prayers I would be most grateful. My love to you all <3

We all know Tír na nÓg, mostly know by “The land of Eternal Youth”, where illness and death doesn't exist, youth and beauty are eternal because time is abolished there.

To go in this amazing place, you may be chosen by a magnificent white horse, he can cross oceans and lands.

Be careful if you ride on his back, he will take you straight into the sea and you can never come back to land again.

 

Come with me to Tír na nÓg.

Due to illness, I haven't been able to get out with the camera over the past few months but hope to be able to do so again in the near future.

 

This is a shot from my holiday last autumn in the lake district. Taken at Blea Tarn on a lovely sunny morning.

 

Thank you for looking and for your continued support.

For your knowledge, I decided to make my life more challenging and interesting so looked up "What does yellow represent" in Google and this was their response: "The Color Yellow. Yellow, the lightest hue of the spectrum, signifies joy, happiness, betrayal, optimism, caution, idealism, imagination, hope, sunshine, summer, gold, philosophy, dishonesty, cowardice, jealousy, covetousness, deceit, illness, hazard and friendship". So I decided to try my hand at

illness, and found it a pretty big challenge, I hope you like what I have done.

 

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

I am delighted with the good photos that the theme of the week has given! Congratulations to all of you, you're all craks!

 

Give me poison I want to live.

 

Using the syringe to make the water drops, this picture came up, remembering hard moments of a family illness.

But with the pandemic we're living through, it fits too.

The composition is a gauze in the foreground, the syringe because almost everything they put in a vein contains water, in the background some pills and I put a little color with some flowers because the purpose of all this is to give a color to life.

Greetings and happy week.

 

______

Estoy encantada con las buenas fotos que ha dado el tema de la semana! Felicidades a todos sois unos craks!!

 

Dame veneno que quiero vivir.

 

Utilizando la jeringuilla para hacer las gotas de agua surgió esta foto,recordando momentos duros de una enfermedad familiar.

Pero con la pandemia que estamos viviendo también encaja.

La composición es una gasa en primer plano, la jeringuilla porque casi todo que nos meten en vena contiene agua , de fondo unas pastillas y le puse un poco de color con unas flores porque el fin de todo esto es poder darle un color a la vida.

Saludos y feliz semana.

 

Due to a long illness this is my first landscape shot in more than one and a half years. Last week I went out on adventure! It was so exciting, the bus for disabled people took me to Kinderdijk with my mobility scooter, camera, tripod and all and dropped me off Café de Klok close to the windmills. It was freezing cold outside with temperatures of 6 degrees below zero. Unfortunely the "Golden hour" was over before I knew it, so I had very little time to scout for the best compositions. The "blue hour" lasted longer, but once the sun was down the temperature dropped another 6 degrees (or so it felt to me charging up and down between the windmills on my scootmobile!) What a wonderful feeling of freedom I felt! More shots to follow

Recomece hoje e sempre...

 

Observe a vida a sua volta!

Tudo e um eterno recomeçar.

No lugar das folhas que caem, nascem os brotos!

Com a água a planta ganha vida e recomeça a viver!

Nada na vida para!

O Inseto que hoje apareceu e fez a alegria do meu dia, não vai retornar jamais!

Ele veio troce a esperança, e retornou para mãe natureza e termina de cumprir seu ciclo!

Isto também acontece com todos nós!

Quando permitimos a renovação do nosso coração!

A ferida aberta no nosso coração cicatriza!

As dores desaparecem e surge a alegria!

A doença da passagem para a saúde!

Depois do nervosismo, vem à calma e a paz!

Recomece! Mas não desanime jamais!!!

Aonde á esperança surge à vida e a alegria passa reinar dando passagem a real FELICIDADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It always recommences today and… Its return observes the life! Everything and a perpetual one to recommence. In the place of the levies that fall, the sprouts are born! With the water the plant gains life and recommences to live! It swims in the life stops! The Insect that today appeared and made the joy of my day, does not go to never return! It came with the hope, and returned for mother nature and finishes to fulfill its cycle! This also happens with all we! When we allow the renewal of our heart! The wound opened in our heart heals! Pains disappear and appear the joy! The illness of the ticket for the health! After the nervousness, it comes to the calm and the peace! It recommences! But it never does not discourage! Where the hope appears to the life and the joy passes to reign giving to ticket the real HAPPINESS!

Egyptian slaves were given a daily ration of garlic, as it was believed to ward off illness and to increase strength and endurance.

As indicated in ancient Egyptian records, the pyramid builders were given beer, flatbread, raw garlic and onions as their meagre food ration.

Upon threatening to abandon the pyramids leaving them unfinished, they were given more garlic.

It cost the Pharaoh today's equivalent of 2 million dollars to keep the Cheops pyramid builders supplied with garlic.

 

Although it may seem a new concept, garlic was in fact introduced to Britain by the Romans and has been a cook’s staple for millennia.

The bulbous vegetable was praised in ancient Sanskrit writings, the Egyptians buried it with their dead and by 1500BC it had spread across the world – it even turned up in the medieval court of Richard II.

But by the 19th century, Mrs Beeton was describing it as ‘offensive’ and for most of the 20th century you barely caught a whiff of it in the domestic kitchen.

Cheap flights and package holidays changed our perceptions, and Britain soon rediscovered garlic’s 'pungent' charms, using it in everything from curries to casseroles, stir-fries and soups.

Coupled with a renewed thirst for traceable, local produce, British-grown garlic is set to become a great household favourite.

 

I wish you all the very best and thanks for all your kind words, time, comments and faves.

Very much appreciated. M, (*_*)

I've been off for awhile, illness in the family but it turned out OK.

"The contemplative journey, because it involves the purification of the unconscious, is not a magic carpet to bliss. It is an exercise of letting go of the false self, a humbling process, because it is the only self we know. God approaches us from many different perspectives: illness, misfortune, bankruptcy, divorce proceedings, rejection, inner trials. God has not promised to take away our trial, but to help us to change our attitudes toward them. That is what holiness really is. In this life, happiness is rooted in our basic attitude toward reality."

- Thomas Keating, The Human Condition: Contemplation and Transformation

 

A life on the street is fraught with many dangers.

 

You're homeless if you have nowhere to stay, but you're also considered homeless if it's not reasonable for you to remain in your accommodation. That might mean:

 

you're staying with friends or family on a temporary basis

your home is in a very poor condition

your home is no longer suitable for you because of a disability or illness.

 

Homelessness is often caused by a tenancy ending, a relationship breaking down, or friends or family asking you to leave. In all cases, it's best to seek advice as soon as you can.

 

This Pandemic has just made things worse.

My 'Vivien Leigh' pink variegated zonal geranium, acquired from the Hills District geranium show and exhibition, held at Ellerman Park, in Round Corner (Dural), north-western Sydney, during pre-Covid times.

This variegated geranium has been grown since 1951 when Vivien Leigh starred in 'A Streetcar Named Desire' and was an acclaimed British actress. In the 1950s this geranium won awards for its beauty, not unlike Vivien Leigh who was lauded for her beauty. The original grower of this geranium was a mega Vivien Leigh fan, besotted by her beauty and yet also aware of the bipolar that she suffered from, which made her notoriously difficult to work with.

He argued that the noted, but uniform, variegation of the petals represented the ironic beauty of a person who suffered sporadically from an illness that was, at that time, misunderstood.

She was nevertheless the ultimate star of the iconic film: 'Gone With The Wind'. Tragically she died in 1967, aged only 53, due to tuberculosis.

But this variegated pink zonal geranium continues on and is still grown today in many parts of the world. One little part of Vivien's memory thus rests here in Cherrybrook, in Sydney.

Translated by 崔宏立。 Recommended ! A good read to understand more about Depression, Anxiety, loneliness. But I think this was not translated to English yet. I also can't find a translation of the word Depphjarnan to English. Any Swedish can help ?

After a spell of illness in bed I managed a brief look around the garden, now a wilderness.

 

Due to long-term poor health I'm unable to take on new contacts but do my best to reply to comments. Thank you so much for your interest, comments and favours on my photostream. Also for your good wishes. I send you joy and peace.

Well, after a kind of miserable few days due to personal illness (nothing too serious, on the mend now) and a child with a sore tooth I am able to sit down and post more of my Fantasy Faire exploration.

 

Stop number two was "The Golden Hour" by Elizabeth Tinsley and my goodness, as soon as I landed here I could tell Elizabeth had woven her magic of blooming and blossoming joy. The flower fields are very reminiscent of Elizabeth's sim "Ode" which I have personally adored for many many years.

 

Here I am having a little dance in the flowers while wearing one of Azul's beautiful outfits that are available at this year's Fantasy Faire.

ARCHIVES IMAGE, sorry illness is keeping from going out, so will continue with old images.

=================================

DISTINCTIVE and well-marked lark, but as it feeds unobtrusively it can be difficult to locate when it is foraging among salt-line plants. Resident from Nov-March, red listed bird, found mainly on the East coast of Kent and East Anglia. Hope we get some for me to be able to look at. Taken in very poor light.

====================================

THANK YOU for your support , and kind comments, it is appreciated always! Stay safe, keep well, God bless...........

"GODs BEAUTY is SIMPLY AMAZING !"

The Willow Trusts Leonard Matchan and Spirit of Freedom both setting out for a mornings cruise...

 

The aim of the Willow Trust is to provide a unique opportunity for people of all ages with a disability or serious illness to enjoy a therapeutic day out on the water.

 

Each year up to 7,000 children and adults with disabilities and serious illnesses spend a day on board two fully wheelchair accessible broad-beamed boats on the Gloucester-Sharpness Canal.

 

Both boats, Spirit of Freedom II and Leonard Matchan, were purpose built for the Willow Trust and give children and adults with disabilities a day of freedom they never dreamt possible.

The lack of mobility caused by my illness has got me working through a mountain of last years RAW files.

This was taken at Normanton on Rutland water last summer, no filters used, it was a lovely evening aside from all the biting insects!
